EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik tells us that the Prophet Muhammad gave him his kunyah, which is an Arabic nickname, because of a plant that he used to take care of. A kunyah is usually given to someone based on their characteristics or traits and it is often used as an honorific title. This hadith teaches us the importance of taking care of our environment and how we should appreciate those who do so. It also shows us how much respect the Prophet Muhammad had for nature and its preservation. Furthermore, it teaches us that even small acts can have great rewards in this life and in the hereafter if done with sincerity and good intentions.
